Protection

NOTE: Due to way hitpoints are arranged on the Bicycle's model, only explosives and other forms of munitions that inflict splash damage will be effective at outright destroying the Bicycle.

All Bicycles have a base armour value of 30. Although Bicycles are not exclusive to civilian factions, no variant (military versions included) allows for addon armour modules to be installed.

Body

The Bicycle's frame can only take a maximum of 30 points of damage before it breaks. It takes 150% additional damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions. 100% of incoming damage will always be shared with the Bicycle's main "health" pool.

Wheels

Both wheels can only withstand up to 6 points of damage before their tyres burst. They take 400% increased damage from HE-type munitions. At least 30% of incoming damage to either wheel will be shared with the Bicycle's main "health" pool.

Trivia

• 

  An Army Bicycle "burns" after it suffers critical damage.

  Despite not being a motor-powered vehicle, all variants of the Bicycle strangely have a fuel capacity defined and will even burst into flames upon destruction.
• At launch, Bicycles would wobble wildly even when they were being driven across flat terrain. Stability for all variants of the Bicycle was improved after the release of Update 1.0.3153.
• Prior to Update 1.5, Bicycles did not have the ability to ring a bell.
  • Update 1.5 also included unique U.S. and Soviet military camouflage schemes.
